Prompt E
In Act.1 Scene 5
In this scene Lord Capulet and Tybalt are arguing about Romeo who is at the party where everyone who isn't a Montague. Tybalt wants Lord Capulet to kick Romeo out but Lord Capulet is brushes it off saying to isn't a big deal. I could see that Lord Capulet and Tybalt felt comfortable with each other because when they fouht it argued it was very subtle and they were calm. When people are family they tend to be more comfortable with each other. This is probably why tybalt feels comfortable complaining to Lord Capulet about how he dilikes Romeo being at their party

This represents Romeo and Juliet in the balcony scene because they are reaching for each other, figuratively and metaphorically. They both are trying to touch each other and love each other. They are also in different and opposite houses, hence the opposite hand colorings.

Later that night, Romeo sneaks up near her balcony and see´s Juliet talking to herself. Romeo comes out of a bush and says to Juliet ¨Call me but love, and I´ll be new baptized.

R and J Post 2, Act 2 Scene 2 Fernando Sillas
In Act 2 , Scene 2 why does Capulet want the wealth to stay in the family. Also if Juliet and Romeo get marries wouldn't it make both families even wealthier and make them resolve their hate once and for all.
I mean both families are pretty much identical to each other. Its like they were made to be just like each other. Lord Capulet want Juliet to marry County Paris because he wants the wealth to stay in the family but County Paris inst in the family. So just because Romeo is a Capulet, its not meant to be.

Romeo And Juliet Act 2 Scene 2 What defines us
One of my favorite quotes from the play "Romeo and Juliet" is when Juliet is talking to herself on the balcony about Romeo's name and how it doesn't affect their love, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"(Act 2 Scene 2). I love this quote because it shows how Juliet doesn't care about any boundaries for her love. Even if Romeo is in a rivaling clan, the Montagues, while she's in the Capulet clan, she still loves him. This shows just how far Juliet is willing to go for Romeo even if she's risking her livelihood and her family's appreciation. This quote is able to display Juliet's affection and succinctly describe her love with Romeo easily and encapsulates what she's going through that allows the reader or listener to have empathy with Juliet and Romeo.
2nd Post
Prompt B:
Capulet- Why is Juliet HAVE to marry Paris? Not like that is the only option. (that they know of anyways)
Tybelt- Why you aggressive towards montagues?
Romeo- Do I stand corrected about love in first sight? yes
Juliet- how you be seduced so easily?
Mercutio- How come you fight till death for fun/ no reason? wait your dead nvm....
1st Post
Prompt A
On page 23 it says, "Tell me sadness, who is that you love?". I can relate to this because it is just like me and my mom. She always asks who I like, but I always tell her that I don't want to tell her. She Insists over and over, Day after day. Many times I wish I could make her to stop saying that over and over. I can keep somethings in my life private. Thank you.

Act I Scene 2-Jessey Castillo
Romeo is still sad about Rosaline but Mercutio and Benvolio tell him to get over her. And they hear about a party at the Capulets and they tell Romeo to go so he can see other girls and see if he likes any of them. They sneak in but they have to wear masks so they don't see them. Tybalt spots Romeo and wants to kill him but Lord Capulet tells him to leave him alone. Romeo dances with Juliet and goes find her again. He gets her hand and kisses it.
act 1 scene 2
Romeo goes to the Capulets party and they see him there. Tybalt wants to kill Romeo so bad but doesn't because they are at a party. For the sake of now he will remain calm but swears to kill him when he sees him again. Paris continues with the party and calms Tybalt down. Without Paris the party would've been a disaster and Romeo probably wouldn't have met Juliet.
Act 2 Scene 1
Option C:
The quote that I liked the most from this section is this,"What's in a name? that which we call a rose; By any other name would smell as sweet." It shows how Juliet is thinking, and that a name is just a name, and if the person is just a nice person you should just give them a shot to get to know them. Basically Juliet is saying that if Romeo, was named as something else he would still be a sweet thing, and a name shouldn't make you judge someone. Don't judge a book by it's cover.
Roses For R and J
Prompt D -
I chose this image of a rose with thorns to represent the relationship between Romeo and Juliet. The rose symbolizes how simply beautiful and pure the love between the two characters is. The thorns on the rose stem represent the hardships and obstacles Romeo and Juliet suffer from because of their forbidden love. This shows that not every beautiful thing that seems perfect, actually is.

Act I Scene II: Comforting a Friend
Prompt A, Act 1 Scene 2:
When Romeo seems upset by something, Benvolio wants to find out what's going on and help him feel better. I often have to comfort my friends or be comforted by them when one of us is feeling sad or mad. Many people sometimes get over upset about seemingly small things and need to be taken out or talked to so that they can start feeling better about themselves or the situation that they're in. While trying to talk to Romeo, Benvolio says, "Compare her face with some that I shall show, And I will make thee think thy swan a crow," (pg 33: Act 1, Scene 2, Line 93-94) Benvolio says this to make Romeo feel better and get him to find someone that will like him the way that he likes them.

PROMPT B
Ask 5 interesting questions about the reading OR address 5 questions to one or more of the characters from this section of the reading, as if you were interviewing him or her. Here is an example of a student responding to this prompt for Hamlet. Remember, just ask; you do not have to answer!
Capulet- Why you force Juliet to marry with Paris?
Tybelt- Why are you so aggressive when you faced with Montagues? You need to calm yourself and think.
Romeo- Do you think you fell in love immediately?
Juliet- How you kissed with Romeo in the first met?
Mercutio- Are there any reason that you engage when Montagues and Capulets fight each other?
Question Analyse
1: If the Capulets are hosting a party why would they not check everyone that is coming? Lord Capulet obviously wants to have a good time and he said that everyone that is not a Montague is invited. Even when the Montages do arrive he does not want to spoil the party over them and the only anger he shows is towards Tybalt and not Romeo or any of the Others. Even after the party Lord Capulet seems to not bring it up again and neither does Tybalt.
2:In the scene at night where Mecurtio is ranting on and on he seems to have no specific endpoint. Was it normal for the characters within these stories just to speak with poetry and have some major voice line? They do want to have some comic relief and it does seem to make sense where it is but at some point it would not be the most pleasing to see one person within a play going on and on.
3:Why does Romeo fall head over heels when he sees Juliet? We already know that he loves Rosaline but why does he all of a sudden just love Juliet to the greatest extent after seeing her. At Romeos age he should know better. Even though she might be beautiful he should not just give up on someone else because he thinks he has found someone "better."
4:When Romeo is so up front with Juliet why is Juliet ok with this? She is a fair Maiden of the Capulet family and at least could know a little edict. When Romeo approaches her it would be creepy for him just to start talking to her even if they did notice each other before. Just randomly talking about kissing each other at first sight is not the most normal thing.
5: How does Mercurio know Romeo so well? He is one of his best friends but every time Romeo is in love he can tell and he should probably tell him something. If you had a friend that would fall in love day after day with someone more beautiful wouldn't you want them just to settle eventually and not give up on the last?

Act 1 Scene 4: Prompt C
In this scene, Romeo and Mercutio are conversing about Romeo going to find a new love at the Capulet's party. During this conversation, Romeo says, "Is love a tender thing? It is too rough, Too rude, too boist'rous, and it pricks like thorn." I like this quote because it outlines / reminds the reader and gives some insight on how Romeo's relationship went with his girlfriend.
Act I Scene V: Conflicts Foreshadowed
Act I Scene V Prompt D
I chose this image because fire doesn't get along with water. As in Act I Scene V, when Tybalt first sees Romeo, he wants to fight him, and this scene foreshadows that there will be some sort of conflict between Tybalt and Romeo in the future.

Act 2, scene 2: She's 13...
PROMPT C
"That Which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet"
I like this quote because Juliet is speaking to herself, and she is still a bit shocked that her true love is from a family that is her family's sworn enemy. This quote is meaning to say that no matter what we call romeo he will still be romeo, she is saying that his last name means nothing to her, she will still be in love with him.
"Neither, fair maid, if either thee dislike"
I also like this quote because Romeo is basically saying he would do anything she wants. At her command. He says If you don't like my name, you can call me whatever you want. We can see how in love Romeo is in this quote.
"Deny thy father and refuse thy name,"
Finally, I like this quote because she stops to ask herself if it is all worth it? She is basically saying, will I betray my father, and runaway with my true love, or stay here, and live with the pain of not knowing what would've happened between her and Romeo.

A quote is a quote...
One Romeo and Juliet quote I like is:
"What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,Retain that dear perfection which he owesWithout that title."(act 2 - scene 2; pg. 71-73)
I love this quote from Juliet. It is one of the more famous lines in the play, and the phrase "a rose is a rose by any other name" still persists to this day. It shows the thoughtfulness of Juliet and how she sees the pointlessness of conflict due simply to names. Another such quote I find interesting is:
"A thousand times the worse to want thy light.
"What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,Retain that dear perfection which he owesWithout that title."(act 2 - scene 2; pg. 71-73)

"A thousand times the worse to want thy light.
Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books,
But love from love, toward school with heavy looks." (act 2 - scene 2; pg. 81)
I like this quote as well, as it applies directly to my life. It provides a funny and simple dichotomy between the attraction of two lovers and the angst of a schoolboy and his classes, and giving a new perspective on similes based on opposite instead of the same.
